TIE FARMER WHO KNOWS IT ALE
The farmer who thinks he has master
Ell all that is worth knowing in his
line Of business, might as well be left
alone to enjoy the trusts OF his de!u-
sion. He can never be expected to
fall into line and keep step with the
ages progressive movements. And
why shouli be, vixen already he knows
it all? His ideas, desires and move
men,s are bounded by the little circle
OF his narrow conceits and prejrdIces,
and beyond that be will never ad-
vance. Bookfarming he will not haze
anything to DO with. 1t Is all snare
aud a delusion. The results Of long
and careful experiments by scientific
irquiTers after bottom facts are all
accounted by him as nothing. The
chemist in his laboratory, working
with his crucibles and retorts, can
contribute nothing to his knowledge
of fertilizers, and can give him no
new light Oh their action Oh his soils
lie cannot enIighten him in regard TO
the most economical and profitable
feeding materials for his dairy, nor
about the ways, times and seasons oil
FEEDING out those materials. HIS con-
c'usions are simply nonsense and his
hard technical terms Of protein, album
ino.d.. rbo-hydr4tes. and the like
are the veriest foolishness. Leave
such man, we say, to his idols.
We like to see farmer who Is al
ways ready and willing to accept
new fact, no matter what the source
from which it comes. Such a man Is
not going to stagnate or be left behind
when the car Of progress comes along.
An acquaintance Of ours, a live, goa
head farmer, and successful market
mar, once told US that IN going
through the market place, whenever
hr saw any vegetables or fruits on
stand superior in any respect to his
own, he stopped with the producer
no matter ii he was black as the ace
of spades, and inquired all about his
WAYS Of culture, and, by following up
thu habit OF inquiry and acting upon
the information so derived, he was
continually getting some new light
ana profit. Walter Scott, the great
anl learned writer, used TO say, III
Speaking about the requirement OF
Useful information, that he could gain
somcthingof vaIas from intercourse
with every condition of life, no mat
t.r how lowly. And so with hun
dreds of other distinguished writers.
They were irquirers, and it is by in
guirv and research that the great and
common stock OF the worlds know
ledge is continually increasing. We
can tolerate ignorance when there is
desire and longing to break its
trammels and accept the offered light

In the game between Essex and Mont
pelier upon the Seminary campus, Saturday
morning, five innings were played, the
score standing at the close of the fifth three
to nothing in favor of the last-named club.
Aldrich and Cunningham were the battery
for Montpelier.
THE first league game in this place for
August will occur on the new baseball
park this afternoon, commencing at half
past three o'clock, between the Rutlands,
now the leading nine of the league and the
home team. fine game is expected. Adj
mission as usual.
OK Thursday Montpelier suffered another
bad defeat at the hands of st. Albans. The
game was an uninteresting one, and aside
from two home runs by Long of st. Albans
and few individual plays, was devoid OF
noteworthy features. The Messenger says:
Rain made the game half an hour late and
the ball was rather hard to control by rea-
son of being slippery; st. Albans batted
Walker hard, but, under the circumstances,
he had no opportunity to show what he could
do. He is a swift pitcher and twirls the ball
scientifically. He was ably supported by
Jones behind the bat, who is a fine catcher.
MIR. Archibald umpired the game
very satisfactorily indeed. 1t is but justice
to say that the Montpelers could not show
what was in them. Their battery is good
one and they field well, their short-stop
being especially quick and sure" Here is
the score:

FRIDAYS game was attended with another
mortifying defeat for the Montpelier nine,
the victors being the Marlboro, Mass,
team, which was making tour of the state
and was badly beaten by the other clubs of
the Northeastern League. Montpelier was
almost certain of victory when the visitors
went to the bat in the last inning, the score
at that time standing eight to four in favor
of the tirst-named team, but Walker "got
ratified" and the Marlboros easily raised
their score to nine, and having thus secured
the game retired without finishing the in
ming They played well and appeared well

afternoon with parade through the prnci-
pal streets. A stage had been erected
on the Capitol grounds and it was intended
to have the speech-making there, but as

welcome and was about introducing Lieu

an adjournment to Capital Hall was necessi-
tated. Stirring addresses were made by
Lieutenant-governor Fuller and Governor
Ormsbee. The dress parade was given up
on account of the rain. A rousng camp
fire was held at the Golden Fleece last
evening and the occasion was full OF
enjoyment for all who were present.
